Hello Ian. I decided to write you for help. Like many others, i am a beginner as well. I was wondering what should I do if I want to add a button that would allow me to browse for a picture to add as a background in blend4 web? Could you direct me some where or try to explain?? Thank you so much for everything you do in your channel.

Hi Ian. I came across this play list and there have been some changes since the release of the video. Specifically the current version of 18.05.0 seems to handle things differently. Would it be possible to update with the changes?
